History
The house, originally known as Cardew Hall, was built in the early 16th century for the Denton family and was the birthplace of John Denton, a Cumberland historian, in 1561. It was acquired by Sir John Lowther, a politician, in 1686 and was also the birthplace of Susanna Blamire, a poet, in 1747. By 1790 the house had been acquired by Edward Trimble who farmed Broadmoor and Green Lane as well as Cardew Hall.{{cite web|url=http://www.cumberlandnews.co.uk/news/historic-cumbrian-house-on-sale-for-first-time-in-200-years-for-1-3-million-1.621607 |title=Historic Cumbrian house on sale for first time in 200 years for £1.3m |publisher=Cumberland News |date=9 October 2009 |accessdate=2 August 2015 }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Kenneth Smith, writing in the 1970s, identified it as a country house of note in his book Cumbrian Villages.{{cite book|last=Smith|first=Kenneth|title=Cumbrian Villages|url=https://archive.org/details/cumbrianvillages00smit|url-access=registration|accessdate=10 July 2012|year=1973|publisher=R.
